Driven by the well-known future shortage of talent at all levels in the sector, the objective is to ensure quality people are recruited and retained plus existing people are professionally developed. The project is part of the two years/$12 million Aged Care Innovation Project funded by industry and government. The other three other projects are:

Securing Workforce Sustainability [changing roles of personal carers and the move to consumer directed care models] coordinated by the trade union United Voice
Aged Care Advisory Service [new network of local advisers on workforce development and aged care reforms] coordinated by the Community Services and Health Industry Skills Council
